About this trial
Project: "Development of virtual reality for nursing students: ECT"
For this project the researchers will adapte 'health belief model' as a core concept for developing knowledge, attitude and skills of nursing students to take care of psychiatric patients with ECT. For their practice, the participants will be taught to take care of patients with ECT into 3 phases: before, during, and after ECT.
The researchers believe that this VR technology will help Thai-nursing students better understand and know how to take care of patients with ECT.
This project will consist of two phase. phase I: developing VR- ECT technology for nursing students. we will pilot test VR-ECT in Nursing students by randomizing nursing students volunteers into two groups: an experimental group and waitlist control group (N = 140). Knowledge, attitude and satisfaction and self-confidence will be measured at baseline (day 1), week 8 after intervention complete

Trial outcomes
Primary outcomes
1
VR-ECT knowledge (Thai version)
the researchers will adapt the knowledge for ECT nursing by Pruge and Vichai (2022) to measure the knowledge of nursing students for ECT nursing including the indication for ECT, Action and Side Effects, steps for ECT nursing, and adverse effect of ECT. The instrument including 18 items, each item has two options for yes (1 score) and no (o score).
Time frame
Day 1 -8 wk after intervention complete2
VR-ECT attitude (Thai -version)
The researcher adapted questions developed by Pomporn Thongmuang (16). The purpose of this assessment was to measure nursing students' attitudes towards electrotherapy. It consists of 10 questions. The highest score indicates a positive attitude towards electroconvulsive therapy.
Time frame
Day 1 - 8 week after intervention completed3
VR-ECT Satisfaction (Thai-version)
For the satisfaction on using VR-ECT technology (Satisfaction\_VR-ECT) by Wanthana Pankamdee (17). The researcher will adapt this instrument based on the University students in Thailand context. The items including 40 items related with satisfaction of VR-ECT technology as Likert scale (1=dissatisfied to 5=very satisified). The high score indicates the high level of satisfaction.
